I’m glad so many people have found my “capybara method” for how to write alt text and image descriptions helpful! However, I know conflicting access needs exist and not everyone can write their own #AltText, so here’s an ongoing thread of tools that can help. Inclusion in thread ≠ endorsement
An infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.” Credit to Puzzle agency, original information from Veronica With Four Eyes and veroniiiica dot com

this is what it's like to advertise ur commissions
"Baby in pelican mouth" meme from tumblr user maverick.ornithography but every instance of baby is "oc" (Or original character) and every instance of pelican is replaced with "Artist". The pelican's mouth is full of different tablet pens. 

The picture is an attempt from an artist to solicit commissions through humor and relatability. Artists typically live on a below-wage salary selling their work online and work long hours creating content against many odds including hostile algorithms, competitive market, and overall global economy.

Someone on tumblr asked about Ethel's clothing preferences and I took the opportunity to draw her a bunch because I Like Her™️ tldr: She doesn't like super stuffy clothes and prefers her pants high waisted and her shirts open and loose. #ocart #dndoc #alttext
A sketchpage of Ethel in various outfits. The first one shows her looking over her shoulder in a stuffy noblewoman's gown. Her hair is long and pulled back into an updo, and the collar of the dress goes all the way up to her chin. The skirt is big and has multiple layers, giving it some volume. There is a red X over this one to show she does not like this. 

The next drawing has Ethel wearing one of her canon shirts and jabots, but the shirt is fully done up and she looks less than impressed. There is a red X on this one, too. 

The next image is the same outfit, but the Jabot is gone and the shirt has been fully unbuttoned in the front. She now looks happier, with a smirk on her face.

The bottom row has the same image twice of Ethel in a formal dress, but the first one has a long skirt with a slit down the side and a yellow checkmark. The one beside it has a miniskirt and a red X. She isn't entirely against dresses but she doesn't like ones with short skirts or petticoats. 

The last drawing is of Ethel from behind. She's wearing her high waisted pants and her baggy blouse which is tucked in. She's got one arm raised to run a hand through her hair, showing off how baggy the sleeves are compared to the pants. There is a green checkmark on this one.

Siren lunchtime on the sea, unsuspecting sailors are on the menu! 🤭💅
Four characters in a drawing / painting from left to right. All of the characters are the artist's matching ocs, labelled under Sirens. The art shared is a large illustration that took the artist over 18 hours.

Sunni, a tan woman with blonde curly hair inspired by Marilyn Monroe, with a tube top bikini and conch shell clasp, and seashell accessories with a sun belly piercing. Her unseen Mythical form is a Golem.

Marina, a brown woman with dark curly hair and fully black glossy eyes, in a wraparound two piece teal two piece cover-up with old ropes across her body and a flower clasp on her shirt. She has many fishbone and shell accessories. Her unseen Mythical form is a Kraken.

Diadema, a new character & the queen of them all. She wears a long, form-fitting black dress with cleavage and hip cutouts, a white crown, and white bone-like shawl, earrings, and corset-inspired boning. She is vision impaired and disabled. Her unseen Mythical form is Phantom.

Sirena, with sunset-colored water hair and white seafoam fringe. Her top and necklace are fastened with white seafoam as well. She is very Ariel-inspired. Her Mythical form is Mermaid. 

All women have facial markings in counts of 3, a Sand Dollar within their design, and detailed oceanic accessories. Diadema's sand dollar is cracked to symbolize her disability and chronic illness.
